Sustainability is a megatrend that materially impacts every region, sector, and company. SeaTown dedicates specific resources towards our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives. We established a dedicated ESG Management team to coordinate the ESG strategy across the firm. We are a sustainability-conscious organization, where every employee is ESG-responsible.

ESG assessments are conducted for all investments to ensure ESG risks and opportunities are considered. We use proprietary systems to assess every investment in accordance with standards of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and Sustainability Accounting Board (SASB). We have also built up the infrastructure to track portfolio-level ESG metrics, such as carbon intensity and financed emissions.

SeaTown is a member of the IFRS Sustainability Alliance, a supporter of TCFD, a signatory of UN Principles for Responsible Investment, and a member of the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change. We actively consult with regulators and industry bodies on new standards, and we sponsor university grants to develop the sustainability leaders of tomorrow. Within our corporate operations, we have committed to operational carbon neutrality starting from 2021 and have also implemented an internal carbon price which embeds a sustainability mindset into everything we do.

We commit to continuous improvement in our ESG integration efforts. Along with our peers and stakeholders, we will work together towards a more sustainable future.
